I'm much more the type to throw the cans and bottles I find on the side of the road into my backpack on the way home. I can take them back to be recycled and get the money! So yeah. Money, recycling, and less ugly litter. No bad reason to do that, really.

You're considering weighing through water (or is it "waying" I'm too lazy to search, even though a google search would take less time than this insert explaining my laziness) in the middle of the night for coinage, most of which is pennies, nickles, and some quarters. But not mowing a lawn or hawking something on craigslist or ebay?

I mean, really, any fountain that is shallow enough for you to just wade in at the shins is going to be slim pickings, most of the good stuff has hard access, and is deep (those are the ones that build up a ton of coins over a long period of time, the rest are routinely emptied), so it would take much longer and be far more uncomfortable. Plus, you couldn't quickly leave if cops show up.

Who actually owns the money?

Man, I sure wish we had those kind of fountains where I live! lol Seriously, though . . . I think I'd be too embarrassed to be wading out there in the water in front of a bunch of people, and planning a nighttime heist of "fountain coins" just seems too petty. . .
